As far as I can tell, the American Academy of Pediatrics is the only major medical association to take a real stand against the regime. I’m so proud of my colleagues. Shame on the quiet ones. Please protect your children. Immunizations are safe and effective. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...
While lots of us don’t have money to make big investments, if you have retirement plans, pensions, or other long term investments, make sure you aren’t feeding the regime. www.goodsuniteus.com/how-to-stop-...
That’s ok. I said “Which people are the smart one” instead of “ones.” Sure wish you could edit in BlueSky! 😂
Which people are the stupid one?

The Daily Beans is a great podcast. Today a 25+ year (now former) GOP activist has some really important points for Dems about how we should be messaging people. The interview is at 40:08 if you don’t want to listen to the entire podcast, but it’s all well worth a listen! @janekleeb.bsky.social

🚨BREAKING: The John Lewis Voting Rights Act (killed by Sinema & Manchin in 2021) was reintroduced yesterday by Sen. Warnock (HR114)! Almost no media coverage. Let’s change that. Call your reps. Make noise. Pass the damn bill.🗳️ More: www.hrc.org/resources/vo...

Alligator Auschwitz.
Truth.
Russell Vought claimed on CNN this weekend that NIH funding is corrupt. A reminder, his family has directly benefited from the NIH.

Eliminating the NIH and medical research will crush any hope of curing childhood cancer, diabetes, asthma, or anything else. The combination of these cuts and an anti-vaccine policy will kill millions and millions of people. Especially children. This read gives you a way to fight back.
Dramatic changes to the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program could drive drugmakers from the market, threatening access to shots, experts say. “If (Kennedy’s) unstated goal is to basically destroy the vaccine industry, that could do it.” By @sheinvestigates.bsky.social

Absolutely are. But many are mad as hell as well.
Lots of them care a lot. Many are suing.
And that. Like my 80 year old aunt who can’t drive in a small town 60 miles from one. 🤬
I read that. Unbelievable. 🤬

Wow. All of the publicity about how tragic the Medicaid cuts will be NOW? The leopards are eating their faces and I am wearing binoculars to see it well.
The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.
Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp. This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.
Same. It just infuriates me. Older folks who sit and watch Fox Lies all day (because that’s the free channel everyone leaves on the TV) have no idea what is going on.
The Social Security Administration is sending out blatant lies to its recipients.
We need to spread ACCURATE information about vaccines. RFK Jr. has zero medical training and has no idea what he’s talking about. theconversation.com/im-a-physici...
A U.S. citizen who was arrested for filming an ICE raid at Home Depot is suing the federal government for $1 million— and I hope he gets every penny. THIS‼️ When being transported, Garcia heard agents boasting about how many ‘bodies’ they had gotten that day and saw them celebrate with high fives.

Sorry for a couple posts in a row, but this is SO important. @heathercoxrichardson explains what the Big Billionaire Bill would do. The bill was released by the Senate on a Friday evening it’s so unpopular. It’s straightforward and succinct. Please share! open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
“Trump megabill narrowly advances in Senate despite GOP defections” Only 2 GOPs voted no. “Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who opposes a provision to raise the debt limit by $5 trillion and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), who says the legislation would cost his state $38.9 trillion in federal Medicaid funding”
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.
MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

INL thanks the Lincoln Police Department for their support during No Kings. Their presence was unobtrusive and respectful. Our 1st Amendment rights are being threatened by an authoritarian 🍊, but it’s great to have reps from the city government that still support and protect those rights. 🇺🇸
To make real change, we have to keep Saturday’s momentum going! Commit to doing just one thing. Go to nokings.org/next to find the action that speaks to you. Opposing the big billionaire bailout bill would be a great start!!
ACTION ALERT! The Department of Energy is trying to eliminate the requirement for new buildings to be built with handicap accessibility! Public comment will be taken, BUT IT ENDS TODAY. Please help stick up for our friends who need accessible buildings! dredf.org/action-alert...
Everyone can contribute. Whether you’re sitting in your recliner or standing on a hot street corner protesting, we all make a difference. But we have to keep up the momentum. Please go to indivisiblenebraskalincoln.com to find out how!
Despite inflammatory rhetoric by the gov and att’y general, folks from every walk of life came downtown yesterday to support Lincoln’s LGBTQ+ community and protest the authoritarian dictatorship that has become our government. However, to make REAL CHANGE, the work has to start now! See comments!
Thank you to all of the Lincolnites who came out to protest the authoritarian regime that is our current government. It was an incredibly inspiring and powerful event, and despite the governor’s inflammatory actions, it was 100% peaceful!!
Fellow NO KINGS protestors: The governor has activated the National Guard. It’s another show of authority, but we have a peaceful rally planned, and troublemakers will be dealt with by the LPD. Let’s show them we are serious about change, peacefully. We do NOT have kings!
CALLING VOLUNTEERS !! We are looking for volunteer marshals for the Lincoln protest. Marshals provide information, communicate unsafe conditions to organizers, and can de-escalate heated interactions. Please pm us. There is a required online training at 7 PM tonight!
In addition, O street is a VERY busy, 2 way street. That’s great for visibility, but PLEASE DON’T GO IN THE STREETS for safety purposes. The entire goal here is to HELP our community. If someone gets hurt that will hurt us all. 3/

They passed this is the middle of the night so nobody would be there to protest. They think we are stupid. 9 MILLION people without health insurance (including those with Marketplace coverage) if the Senate passes it. Gift article because I still can. Who knows for how long.
The Governor of Nebraska refuses to give public housing residents bedbug relief. This is what the GOP of today stands for. “Pillen vetoes bedbug bill aimed at relief for Omaha public housing residents”

Chuckie, there is no need for a bill. It’s in the Constitution. Please step down and let someone competent step up.
The “Big Billionaire Bill” is the most accurate name for this atrocious piece of legislation. “The biggest transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich in the history of this country.”
Call your senators. This bill is heading to them next and they can stop it if the people speak out. (202) 224-3121
This young lady’s letter in opposition to Rep. Laurel Libby’s atrocious comments about transgender kids in track is an example of how kids can be raised to be strong and capable, and at the same time kind and gracious. Great job , Anelise!!
For fuck’s sake. It is nearly impossible for any single adult who is not disabled to get on Medicaid. To say that there are able bodied adults getting Medicaid in the first place is ludicrous.
When you read the story, and the responses by the far right, it’s very clear they want nothing to do with a democracy. If we don’t fight back that’s exactly what they’ll get. 'Traitor among us': Coney Barrett infuriates Trump's fans by backing Kagan at hearing www.rawstory.com/amy-maga-kag...

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.
Blatant insider trading. Good thing she’s not in law enforcement. What? Oh.
The Nebraska Governor believes people who are convicted of drug crimes can’t recover. Why else would they be banned for life from SNAP? No wonder his focus is on building prisons rather than building human beings. “Pillen vetoes bill ending Nebraska lifetime SNAP ban for certain drug convictions”
“Amid protests and Democratic pushback, U.S. House GOP launches work on Medicaid cuts” Please call your Representatives. People will suffer and die needlessly from these cuts while the ultra rich get richer.
“Nebraska Legislature advances proposal to weaken paid sick leave.” The overwhelming majority of voters voted for a strong sick leave law. The legislature thinks they know better than their constituents.
If Jean Stothert can go down, so can Don Bacon and the rest of the GOP!! Keep speaking up!
Huge call to action!!! The GOP presented a bill taking trillions out of Medicaid. Said they wouldn’t, but Medicaid is now specifically on the chopping block. It’s easy to call your Congresspeople (and Senators). Download the 5 Calls app. Download 5 Calls..it’s easy!!

This is two global elections in ONE WEEK where the conservative candidate trying to become prime minister not only led his party to a big loss but lost their own seat in parliament (!) in huge upsets. We are global pariahs unseen since the end of the Cold War and need stronger domestic opposition.
Yeah, I understand.
